inet: Add ip_make_skb and ip_finish_skb
This patch adds the helper ip_make_skb which is like ip_append_data
and ip_push_pending_frames all rolled into one, except that it does
not send the skb produced. The sending part is carried out by
ip_send_skb, which the transport protocol can call after it has
tweaked the skb.
It is meant to be called in cases where corking is not used should
have a one-to-one correspondence to sendmsg.
This patch also adds the helper ip_finish_skb which is meant to
be replace ip_push_pending_frames when corking is required.
Previously the protocol stack would peek at the socket write
queue and add its header to the first packet. With ip_finish_skb,
the protocol stack can directly operate on the final skb instead,
just like the non-corking case with ip_make_skb.

sfc: Remove configurable FIFO thresholds for pause frame generation
In Falcon we can configure the fill levels of the RX data FIFO which
trigger the generation of pause frames (if enabled), and we have
module parameters for this.
Siena does not allow the levels to be configured (or, if it does, this
is done by the MC firmware and is not configurable by drivers).
So far as I can tell, the module parameters are not used by our
internal scripts and have not been documented (with the exception of
the short parameter descriptions). Therefore, remove them and always

This is a patch originated with Stefano Salsano and Fabio Ludovici.
It provides several alternative loss models for use with netem.
This patch adds two state machine based loss models.
Many users have wanted the old functionality that was lost
to be able to use pfifo as inner qdisc for netem. The reason that
netem could not be classful with the older API was because of the
limitations of the old dequeue/requeue interface; now that qdisc API has
a peek function, there is no longer a problem with using any
inner qdisc's.

The rate limitation can be configured only when the link is up.
The rate limit value can be ranged between 0 and actual
link speed measured in Mbps. A value of '0' disables the rate limit for
this specific VF.
iproute2 usage will be 'ip link set ethX vf Y rate Z'.
After the command is made, the rate will be changed instantly.
To view the current rate limit, use 'ip link show ethX'.
The rates will be zeroed only upon driver reload or a link speed change.

tipc: Fix port counter handling to correct congestion control
Modifies TIPC's congestion control between a connected port and its
peer so that it works as documented. The following changes have been
made:
1) The counter of the number of messages sent by a port now starts
at zero, rather than one. This prevents the port from reporting port
congestion one message earlier than it was supposed to.
2) The counter of the number of messages sent by a port is now
incremented only if a non-empty message is sent successfully.
This prevents the port from becoming permanently congested if
too many send attempts are unsuccessful because of congestion
(or other reasons). It also removes the risk that empty hand-
shaking messages used during connection setup might cause the
port to report congestion earlier than it was supposed to.
3) The counter of the number of unacknowledged messages received by
a port controlled by an internal TIPC service is now incremented
only if the message is non-empty, in order to be consistent with
the aforementioned changes.
